@Arda1000

This is the violence u want Christianity to embrace. see the justification u are giving for christian docility.


Arda1000 wants christians to be killing their family members also so that the religion can thrive. u can imagine the madness.

Islam is a crime against humanity. If u practice properly as prescribed in Quran and Hadith, u become a killing machine.

The Yoruba Muslims who refused to embrace this madness are regarded as fake Muslims even by northern Nigerian Muslims.

1144AK:
This is not true at all, except in extreme cases(like In a famine)..

AI is very wrong. malnutrition cause decrease in milk production. A nursing mother who isnt eating or has poor diet will have nothing to produce. every breastfeeding know this. If the mother is not eating well, what's she going to produce.

I have seen a neonate died of starvation because the mum wasn't producing adequate breastmilk- virtually nothing because she wasn't eating and she had no money to buy baby formula.
This one no be dem say, it happened in the hospital I worked.

Kobojunkie:
The sad of all of this is that a non-balanced diet is also one of the reasons why those stuck in poverty have a hard time leaving it.

@SpencerForbes, @truthhurts2

pls I beg u in the name of whatever u worship, go back and read what Kobojunkie wrote, then do more research on the impact of balanced diet on cognitive development.
As adults if u have given up on yourself, fine: but don't rub it on your kids. children need regular consumption of protein, milk, fruits and vegetables for proper brain development.

If u noticed, children from poor homes no longer do well on test scores in schools in naija. check admissions into competitive courses like medicine, Law....they are dominated by kids from rich homes. Its not connection, its difference in cognitive development as a result of nutrition.

One of u even said u dont need to eat fruits everyday. That's a bad advice.
pls give your kids milk, vegetables and fruits everyday and do not deny them protein.

In the uk, if they check the lunchbox of your kids in school and its devoid of fruits and vegetables, the school will write a very nasty letter to you as a parent.

truthhurts2:
Look here...all those things can be achieved or gotten and/substitute for.

Is it that compulsory to eat chicken or turkey?

And if you want to eat fish must you go for the expensive one? We have the less expensive ones which for just family of 3 will eat a kilo or half for 4 days or more, and even, is it a must you must eat fish or meat or chicken every blessed day?

And I can see you mention fruits... I just want to ask you a question, DO YOU PERSONALLY EAT FRUIT EVERY DAY? WHEN LAST HAVE YOU EATEN ONE?

And please hope you don't forget what we are having discussion on... You said no way 50k will be enough to feed FAMILY OF 3. That's the sub-topic.

So what other protein should bring in as substitute?
Egg? A crate of egg is 6k.

Titus is the commonest fish. U want to try catfish, stockfish or dry fish. Dey play

Btw, it's a must u eat fruits and vegetables everyday as a portion. That's how u keep sickness away and stay healthy in old age.
Balanced diet is now a luxury in that country- 50k can't get u balanced diet for a family of 3.

As I said earlier, it's up to u if u think the whole family should share one piece of meat as protein in a day. People did it and they survived.
But as far as I'm concerned, that's poverty. Nobody should live like that.

Finally, Take this advice from me as a health practitioner - make sure u eat a whole portion of fruits and vegetables EVERYDAY. Also eat lots of fish
Add exercise join- 4 times per week of cardio exercise
What u eat today determines your state of health and fitness in 10 years.

SpencerForbes:
The simple truth is that everything in Nigeria boils down to financial management and strategic planning. You don’t have to buy everything in bulk at once; you can start small, buying just chicken and fish to store in the refrigerator, because you have a plan to scale.

As your income strategically increases, the quantity and quality of your food item increase with it. It’s not about the initial size of the money, but what you are actively doing with it.

A married man, even one earning only ₦100k, can still run a POS business on the side. When you combine that stability with a smart budget, tell me why he wouldn't have more than enough money to feed his family?

Look here, its up to u if u and your family shares one piece of meat or a piece of fish head as protein in your meal.
what we are talking here is living and eating decently with the least satisfactory comfort expected for a family.
50k wont cut it. That's the simple truth.

I know because I send money home regularly.

truthhurts2:
Smiles...

What are they eating? 50k is more than enough to feed family of 3. I spent 100k on food stuff last month which is Oct, bought a bag of rice, beans, garri, noodles (for my child), palm oil, veg oil and I produce locally made semo and some other things (though, I planted 5 different types of vegetables in my compound, planted tomatoes and also rearing some birds). And we are also family of 3. We haven't eaten one quarter of the rice, we still have more of everything that'll last us till early or middle of February. Pls how many months is that if you start counting from October?

So my brother, 50k is way more than enough for JUST FAMILY OF 3 to feed in one month.

so what about protein? fish, chicken, turkey.
fruits?
beef, goat meat?
half a cartoon of chicken is around 25k
5 pieces of croaker fish is around 15k. even common titus, 2kg is 10k.
dey play.

Ok

Arda1000:
it’s you Christians that are really confused,now let’s hit the head,they kill you because the Bible said you shouldn’t return evil with evil right?
So shouldn’t your almighty god protect you people since you guys won’t take arms?
The world is operating on a scale,you can’t have peace without war,if child is bullying your son in the school,the most peaceful way is to reach your child self defense,which is a natural law,when the bully comes and your child defend himself the bully will stay faraway from him or even become his friend.
The weak will die and the strong will live,Islam isn’t the fastest growing religion because they are peaceful,hope you get the point.

I really don't understand this idea of justifying violence in the name of religion. It's total madness and it's even more crazy when atheists who are suppose to be more reasonable supports it.

Islam is not the only religion in the world. We have Buddhism, Hinduism etc do u hear of their adherents killing people because of their gods?
U can live in a majority Buddhist or Hindu society and practice your own faith without any issue.

It's always Islam causing problem in any society whenever
they reach a sizeable number. UK is about to degenerate into a civil war simply because some people think shari'ah should be the justice system in the UK.

European natives are talking about bringing back crusades to deal with Islamic extremism that's spreading in their continent. So u think the burning mosques, hacking people to death on the streets of Paris or London because of their faith is your idea of strength?

American conservatives are now invading Dearborn - the most Muslim city in america, to protest on the street because the Muslim mayor discriminates against Christians.

All above is invitation to anarchy and civil disorder, I just don't get why this should be justified.

Hindu adherents in Europe and America run into millions, why are they not causing problem with their religion.

It's always Islam, wherever they go, they must start trouble. Even in Japan, Muslims have started destroying shrines.

This isn't about Christianity v Muslims, BUT Humanity v Islam.

Nobody cares about whatever u deem to worship, nobody cares about converts or anything. But when your faith begin to encroach on others, it's time for control.

China already controls it's Muslim population. It once had a violent Muslim population who are now docile. China recently demolished a mosque and built a public toilet as a replacement. Muslims did nothing about it.

Azerbaijan a Muslim country already banned hijab and insist all women should wear traditional clothes instead. Muslim did nothing.

Yoruba Muslims fully understand the concept of tolerance when it comes to faith. Any form of extremism will not be tolerated in Yoruba land. It's your own family member that will deal with u.

It's only a matter of time the rest of the world takes a cue. I repeat, this isn't about Christianity but about humanity.

There's nothing special about Islam, the violence is only possible if the society allows it. If they are controlled, they will definitely behave.

And FYI, Islam is the fastest growing religion is because of birth rate. Nothing more.

In Africa, where birth rate is high across all faith. Christianity is the fastest growing and has a larger population - 52%.

Globally the fastest growing religious movement by conversion is Pentecostalism and not Islam.

Jega2000:
I may not advice you to marry with 100k salary,though it's doable, am very sure that more than 70% of nigeria don't earn 100k .. if you marry your wife make sure she is earning at least
80k-100k monthly.. so una go manage together with 180k income, don't give birth to more than one child,...
Family total income-2.160m
House rent-average a room selfcon-300k per annum..
Feeding- buy your foods in bulk- like 50k monthly..
Transportation-20k monthly..
Nepa bill-10k
Miscellaneous-40k monthly
Savings-30k monthly..

50k monthly for food in today's economy for a family of 3, u will know person wey never carry responsibility.

Jman06:
If the man and woman are good managers, they can survive with 100k salary especially if the woman also hustles and add to the family's finances. People have been getting married on even lower salaries. Like the saying goes, two good heads are better than one.

oga 100k cannot sustain a family in Nigeria of today. stop misleading people
except u want to raise your family in an obscure village and u have no reasonable plan for your kids.

HardMirror:
hatred for god? What god? The one that sits back watching porn when over 100k Christians are killed, but people still pray everyday to for protection? Lol. After prayer useless prayers, you will now call on tinubu to save you from bandits. Your actions and reality shows who is making sense here. Keep praying. I see how God has protected you guys so far. You can't even raise one single person bandits kill. Raise the Christians back to life nau. You serve a powerful god don't you

U guys are just double mouthed confusionist.

If Christianity respond with violence and deal decisively with these bandits, u guys will be the ones shouting genocide up and down.

When america invaded the middle east after 9/11 and massively bombed those places into ruins, u people started calling america a bully.

When the Pope called for crusade to take back Christian lands stolen by Muslims, historians called them warmongers.

When Queen Isabella expelled Muslims and Jews from Spain, historians accused her of being religious intolerance.

When Trump called out the incompetent Nigerian govt, people said America is looking for excuse to start another war.

Christianity is generally a peace seeking pacifist religion and it's not known for violence in anyway.

We understand the importance of peace and not using religion as an excuse to murder.

Allow those who wants to attend church be allowed n those not interested stay away.

ibedun:
You’re partially correct- not in the league of Africa today. I won’t bet on tomorrow because the adversaries of the west are bent on crippling its powers and unfair standard of living.

Where do you pick up these 60k dollar jobs so I can inform my US based AMERICAN friends who can’t seem to find them.

tell them to go to school, get a degree in STEM esp IT. or get some skills in IT with some certifications.
entry salary in most tech job is 60k

have u ever asked yourself why indians are the highest salary earners in america, even more than white americans.
That's because they focused on tech jobs and used the Hb1 visa to employ themselves into those fields massively.
over 60, 000 indians enter the usa every year via hb1 visa route with starting tech salary of 60k dollars.

if indians can do it, tell your friends they can also do it.

ibedun:
I am talking about today while you are talking about yesterday. Things have changed my friend. Going abroad will offer a man zero benefits in the next 5 years. The west don cast!!!

I live in the west, don't know about u.
I gave u up to date info.
U can still get easy loan UK, Canada offers line of credit as high as 500k.
Picking 60k job in USA is as easy as anything.

Don't tell what u don't know.

West is cast, maybe but not in the league of Africa.

ibedun:
What is the probability of this in today’s UK, US, Canada or Europe?

5K job in america is very easy to get.
canada of 10 years ago could easily offer him 5k, but canada of today is no somehow.
forget uk or europe, 5k job in those countries na war.
another country that can easily offer him 5k is australia.

The only way to break even in uk is thru loan, they offer generous loan with a reasonable time to pay. That was how I built my second house in naija and I paid back the loan within 4 yrs.
canada make sense only if u have a stable job and u are PR- however, stable job is no longer guaranteed in present unstable canada economy. Trudeau almost wrecked that once prosperous country b4 he left.

but selling a 60million naira house to gamble it in uk no make sense at all. That's 30 thousand pounds, even british will look at him like 'is he cray?'

grandstar:
He will forever regret his decision.

When you warn people before travelling, most will not listen.

They think Oyinbo streets are paved with gold. His kids would suffer the most as they will now go to their State schools filled with lots of bad boys and bullies. They won't be attending private schools there. They are going from having their own rooms to the entire family sharing a room, and in a rough neighbourhood.

Use your brain, that's why the story is a lie.
A family can't rent one bedroom apartment in the UK. It's not allowed, the landlord will be in big trouble if social service get to know about their living condition

The story is a pure confabulation.

Sirchiboy:
Nigerian man sells his house in Lagos for N60m, relocates to UK where he lives in one-room apartment with his two children

Make people dey do small research b4 giving us their confabulated lie story.

U can't live in a one room apartment with kids in the UK. It's not allowed.
Social service will come in.
The Landlord who rented the apartment to the family will be in serious trouble.

Gerrard59:
Tinubu was part of that group. The biggest defenders of Buhari's government were Yorubas.

Reason why I said Yorubas need to get their head out of that rotten pot and begin to think independently.
Nigeria is a failed experiment.

It's obvious northerners wants to use this banditry insurgence to useless Tinubu's govt.
same way they used boko haram to useless Jonathan's govt.

That's why I will never understand why Yoruba people continue to suck up to this northerners like we need them for our survival.
Nigeria is not working, its either we go back to confederacy or outright dissolution.

This born to rule mentality is nauseating. even if Tinubu pack only his family members into govt, the north should wait their turn and not start thinking how to return to power thru backdoor.

Another civil war is seriously banging on the Nigerian door.

AguluLiar:
Carry your wailing commot here.
You and your people will always use every opportunity to wail on Naira land

Gattuso spoke the truth.

African countries have not put an impressive performance in the World cup, aside Nigeria, Senegal,Cameroon and perhaps Ghana.

it a world cup not european cup. slots were increased across all continents.

asia has 8, north america has 6, what football prowess do they have to be allocated such huge numbers?
Mr Man, work on your self hate and self esteem.
Gatusso is wrong.

GreenCovering:
May be you need to reread the news once again to understand it better.

The school board introduced more positions under music and physical education in a single communication. The people protested against that release on the grounds that schools were lacking in enough religious instructors but instead of addressing that issue, the ministry is adding extra position for music teachers.

"Various religious and political organizations raised objections, demanding the creation of religious teacher positions instead of music teachers, and launched protests."

Then as a result of these protests, the communication was withdrawn.

So the people's grouse was against the bringing in of more music teachers and not particularly against physical education which was contained in the bulletin as well. The people know what they wanted and they know where their distaste was. But when the enemy wants to attack and smear Islam, they know how to deliver the combo to front their mischief. Only discerning eyes are able to see through most times and there's nothing to be ashamed of.

I've always said it, the problem with Islam isn't the violence of the minority radicals or the extremist.

The big problem with Islam is the lies, deception, denial and taqqiya of the majority so called moderate Muslims.
Their actions or inactions fuels the raging hormone of the violent prone extremists.
The extremists in Islam knows they would not be cautioned by the majority so called moderates, no matter what they do.

This article clearly stated both PE and music teaching positions were withdrawn by the govt FF protest by Islamic group BUT this moderate Muslim is blatantly denying the truth even when it's written in black and white.

Even a spokesperson of the sports association is the one who has taken the govt to court to challenge the ban.

Why would a sport person be fighting for music teachers if PE isn't affected? This is the question we should ask this so called moderate Muslim.

GreenCovering:
Apparently it is music that is getting banned.
They are only using the physical education aspect to spice up the story.
Islam prohibits unbridled mixing of males and females and not physical education. You guys always looking for a way to misrepresent Islam.

This is the story from a Bangladesh news agency. Both PE and music were banned.

I understand if u are ashamed of your religion but don't deny the truth that comes out from your religion.

Nteogwuija:
So you mean God created man, gave him freewill and still destroyed them in Sodom and Gomorrah for exercising the freewill he gave them, and is still destroying in hell?

And by the way, how did evil come about? Cuz the reason y freewill seems problematic is because u have to choose between good and evil.

If it were just to choose between good and good, we won't be having this discussion. But then we have evil.

If God is holy and he's the creator, how did evil come into existence?

The first expression of evil in the Bible was from the serpent. And God created the serpent.

Secondly, let me agree for a second that God actually gave man freewill. Don't you think that by man exercising the freewill, that God becomes useless to man?

Cuz now I'm going to be judged by my actions(freewill exerted) and not by any will of God.

You can't say God gave freewill and then you say there's destiny or God's plan for your life.

NB: Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying there's no freewill. I'm simply saying that it doesn't quite sit well with me when Christians say God gave man freewill and then they tell u about the plan of God or that you're destined by God to become so and so.

And that it doesn't make sense that God, being all knowing, he sees the end from the beginning, would give man freewill when he(God) has already seen in the future that he would destroy Sodom and Gomorrah because of something he gave them, and that he would also throw his creatures into everlasting fire.

He saw these things, yet he went ahead with his plan.

Also, the analogy of the toddler. There are instances in the Bible where it's mentioned that God who's the heavenly father takes care of humans more than their parents would do.

One of those instances is where it stated that if our earthly father would dare not give us stone when we ask for bread, how much more our heavenly father.

So it's only logical to make that analogy. Except you're saying that portion of the Bible meant something else.

Finally, me saying I have doubts in the existence of God doesn't make me an atheist. It's the believe in the non-existence that makes one an atheist.

I'm doubting because there's not enough proof to back that existence.

If I have doubt in your football skills, it's not that I know you can't play football. I've just not seen enough of you playing football.

So the only way to cure my doubt is for you to show me your footballing skills.

I don't get why people think God created evil. God has no business with evil, He didn't create evil, God only create good things.

evil is absence of good. God didn't create moral evil or any sort of evil.
God didn't create disobedience. disobedience is absence of obedience.
God didn't create nothing. Nothing is absence of everything.

evil isn't created, it's the consequence of negating what God created as a result of choice.

remember I told u, if there's only one option there will be no choice. and God created Man deliberately to have that innate desire to choose.
So the choice is for Man to obey God and enjoy good things OR disobey God and self negates those good things- this is what we call evil.

Finally, God didn't just leave Man to make blind decisions or gamble on choices. He actually gave us a spirit which is a reflection of Himself. This image is meant to guide us and ensure we choose right all the time.

So long as Man listen to his spirit, he will be fine. This was why Adam knew no shame or fear or blame in the garden before he disobeyed God.
Man was meant to be a spirit being- living by the spirit because Our creator is also a spirit. We can only make the right choices as humans when we live in the image of God he created us- as a spirit.
This is what Paul is calling us back to.

U really need some basic bible tutorial on Christian theology, u will really benefit from it.

Caseless:
everyone was born innocent and thought to believe in oness of God before they chose other path.

Islam means submission not monotheism.

Believe in one God doesn't make u a Muslim otherwise Zoroastrianism will be Muslim.

Nteogwuija:
Lol, there's no where I said I was an atheist.

U said u left christainity and doubted the existence of a supreme deity. Sir, that makes u an atheist.

Nteogwuija:
Secondly, it's fascinating how you guys talk like u were there when God supposedly create man.

I already told u, God revealed himself in his scriptures. It's called the BIBLE.

And because God never lies, I believe whatever he says about Himself in the bible

Nteogwuija:
Your Bible said God commanded Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit. And then you come around to say God gave man freewill.

do u understand freewill? I hope u know freewill or choice doesn't negate instructions or existence of laws. the reason we have laws is because of freewill.
If there's no freewill, there will be no need for laws because every human being will do the same thing over and over again.

Nteogwuija:
You said he already knew what will happen.

Well that's funny. I'm sure you won't be disappointed if you kept a beautiful burning candle in front of your toddler and she goes on to touch and gets burnt.

comparing creator to parenthood is absurd. I didnt create my child, I didn't codify his genetic makeup. Therefore, I dont know how my child will react in front of burning candle. The responsible thing to do is to think for my child and remove all dangers. I don't have the power to correct any injury as a result of exposure to danger.

Nteogwuija:
If God wasn't surprised by Adam and Eve eating the fruit, don't you think that God knew man was going to self destruct but he or she still went ahead to add that feature in man that'd make him self destruct?

God didn't create humanity to self destruct, man choose to self destruct. The power of choice is useless if there's no other option to choose from or there's only one decision to make all the time. How can u say Man has a choice if there's no alternative option.

Nteogwuija:
Why build a thing when u know it's going to fail? Isn't that folly?

How did humanity fail? If u mean separation from God, the process of redemption started right there in the garden.
I think u asking the wrong question.
The right question u should be asking is why did God create Man in the first place. The answer will help to understand why Man has a choice.
God would have had no need to create Man if he wasn't going to have a choice.

Nteogwuija:
We'll be going back and forth with this argument. The fact that you don't know God, what he is or what he looks like, except from the pictures painted by the White man, but claim to somehow know what he or she thinks, makes ur argument flawed.

as usual when the atheist black man gets stuck, he resorts to help from his own god- the white man.
show me where the bible said God has a physical body that can be painted.
so u left christianity because the white man painted an image and called him god? is that why u left christianity

Nteogwuija:
You don't even know the intention of the person sitting close to you right now, and you claim u know the intention of a diety you're not sure of his or her existence.

God revealed his existence to us in his words. check the bible, u will find God.
That's how u know Him; and unlike Man, he never lies. Whatever he says about himself is the truth.

Nteogwuija:
To your question:

If l created a robot for the sole purpose of dishwashing, but the robot, instead of dishwashing, went on to try and fix the electricity in my house(acting independently) and consequently set the house on fire, then I have failed woefully as the programmer.

So, no, the highest creation of an AI robot is one that was created to perform a specific task and it does it satisfactorily.

The question is did u write the code with the option of choice for the robot or the robot was specifically coded for dishwashing and must never disobey that command.

God wasn't disappointed when Man disobeyed Him because he already knew that could happen. Man's genetic makeup was coded with the option to choose.

Almunjid:
I understand that my previous write-up may have hurt you deeply, and for that, I apologize. I empathize with your feelings. This is the kind of misunderstanding that Muslims often face here every day, especially because of a few unscrupulous individuals claiming to be jihadists—leading many to wrongly condemn all of us.

You are correct when you say that children receive an automatic ticket to heaven because they are pure of heart and innocent, and God would not punish them for sins they know nothing about. My earlier response was based on my experiences with Christian preachers in my youth, who would preach that if we failed to believe Jesus died for our sins or accept him, we were destined for hell. I remember wondering what I had done at such a young age to earn God’s anger, and that His peace could only come if I accepted Jesus. As Muslims, we believe in Jesus but regard him as a prophet, and our judgment will be by Jehovah, who sent Jesus—not by man.

Regarding your opinion about destiny, I believe you are mistaken because destiny is real. Much of what happens on earth is already predestined by the Creator. This explains why some individuals can foresee events and make prophecies. Do you think anything truly new happens in God’s eyes? Everything is simply unfolding according to His will. God’s plan for your life is your destiny. As the Quran says, "Man proposes, and God disposes" (Quran 76:30). Similarly, the Bible states in Proverbs 16:9, "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." Even Jesus himself had to submit to God’s will (Matthew 26:39). Isaiah 46:10 also states: "I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please." So, God is not watching new things unfold—His plan is simply being realized.

More broadly, what you are and everything about you has been destined by God. This is why sorcerers sometimes seem to know intimate details about your life, your identity, and your future. They are not supernatural beings but are reading signs that God has already written—for example, some believe that much of our life’s path is written on our palms, although few can interpret it. With spiritual knowledge (ilmu ruhani), even a little information such as your name and your mother’s name can reveal much about your past, present, and future (though such practices are forbidden in Islam). They can describe many life events, including details about your spouse and children.

As for whether one is destined for heaven or hell, Islam teaches that much is already recorded about you. God has predestined many aspects of life—only a few are within our control. The Bible echoes this in Romans 8:29-30: "For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son... And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified."

What can change our destiny? Only the One who predestined it can change it—when we pray sincerely and He answers, our destiny may be altered according to His will.


Shalom!

Leave bible out of it because u simply cherry picking to suit your Islamic narrative.

The definition of destiny and God being all knowing is d
Different in the bible.

The thought God has for mankind is a good destiny.

Jeremiah 29.11
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

God harbours no evil destiny for anybody. It's left for u to heed his call.

Now let's check Allah...

If destiny is unchanged, then explain to me....

A prostitute who was killed by her client, is that the destiny Allah willed for her. Is that how Allah willed she would die even before she was born?

An armed robber who was killed while in action. Is that how Allah willed his destiny. So are u telling me before he was born, Allah already willed it that he would be killed as an armed robber?

Pls answer the above questions, I don't want any waffling.

Nteogwuija:
So Christianity claims God is perfect and then he made man out of his image. But u look at the world today, humans do not look like a product from a perfect God.

The default answer is that God gave humans free will.

So a programmer(who's perfect) is creating an app and knows that if he introduced a particular feature, that feature is going to introduce bugs to the app.

The most logical thing for the "perfect" programmer to do is avoid that feature. But if he must use the feature, he'd ensure that he checks that feature, reconfigure it to ensure that it doesn't introduce bugs to the app in the future.

My point is that, since God is perfect and all-knowing, he sees the end from the beginning, he or she would have known that giving man free will would be at man's detriment.

Most funny part is that he gave man freewill and cast man into damnation for exercising the freewill. Most illogical thing anyone can do.

More like telling your teenage daughter that she's free to do whatever she think feels good to her. You're giving her freewill. And then she gets pregnant, comes to the house, and then you throw her out of the house.

Also, like watching your toddler put his hand on a burning candle, he cries after getting burnt. And then u scold the toddler for touching the burning candle.

How do u respond to this?

Also note:

You don't need to call me back to religion. Again, I can't trade my peace of mind, post religion, for anything.

This is a very simple question to answer. It deals with the core reason God created mankind in the first place.

I trust TenQ to do good justice to it.

U can ask other questions relating to Christianity or the bible. Including those supposedly very hard ones.
If u are truly u are a Truth seeker, the bible will definitely guide u to that truth because God is the ultimate reality. Nothing exist outside of him, he has answers to everything.

Now reason most Christians including pastors struggle
with theological questions is because majority embraced Christianity due to its spiritual truth NOT theological validity.
They prayed to Jesus and he answered their prayers, they read the bible and it changed their life. That transformation and revelation is sufficient truth for them.

Infact until the recent growth of atheism, internet exposure and onset of social media, most Christians regard seeking theological knowledge of the bible as waste of time. It adds nothing to them so why bother. They are more concerned with personal spiritual growth.

However the beauty of Christianity lies in it's theological truth. No other faith or spirituality offers deep, logical and sound theological validity like Christianity. None.

It's mind exploding when u see the reality of its theological truth. It's practically undeniable in whatever realm u choose to argue of define it.

It's an independent truth, it seeks validation from nothing else. That's why God told us his name is I AM THAT I AM.
U can only use ME to define myself because outside of ME, there's nothing.

Other faiths or religion can also claim they pray to their gods and he answered or they read religious books and they became better person BUT when we scrutinise the theology behind their faith- it makes no sense at all.
Theology of other religions lack objectivity, becomes very problematic when compared to other reality, the factual & empirical evidence is weak, and they seek validation from other belief system.

That's why most scholars don't even bother scrutinising them because it's a waste of theological resources. Only Christianity is worth that time.

Almunjid:
Islam offers a clear understanding by teaching that children who die before reaching an age of accountability will not go to hell simply because they did not accept Jesus. Since they are innocent and sinless, their state of purity is comparable to being born as a Muslim—one who submits fully to the will of the Almighty God.

In Christianity, however, every person bears responsibility for the original sin committed by Adam—even before their own birth. This inherited sinful nature is the source of sickness, aging, death, and an innate tendency toward sin present in all humans from birth. Why must humanity endure all these consequences because of Adam’s transgression?

The solution (according to Christianity) lies in Jesus—through His sinless life, sacrificial death on the cross, and resurrection, Jesus broke the power of sin and death. The irony, though, is that despite all Jesus endured for humanity’s sake, individuals still experience sickness, aging, and death. Abi he did not die well ni, I no know.

Peace!

U people will be doing Cho Cho Cho in what u know nothing about....
When we bounce on you now and expose the illogical concept of Islam, u will start threatening.

For one, there is no salvation in Islam. Quran never mentioned salvation, any Muslim talking about salvation is simply talking about a borrowed concept from Christianity.

Allah has designed the destiny of every man even before he was born. And u can't change it, no matter how hard u try.
No man can rewrite the destiny Allah willed for him. No matter your circumstances in life, it's your destiny willed by Allah.
So tell me, how can u safe yourself from what Allah already destined for you!!!!
Islam makes no sense.

Now to your ignorant claim about children and heaven as it pertains Christianity.

This is what Jesus Christ has to say.....

Mathew 19.14
14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” 15 When he had placed his hands on them, he went on from there.

Mathew 18.3
And Jesus said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

ALL LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE AUTOMATIC TICKET TO HEAVEN. THEY ARE NOT ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR DEEDS BECAUSE THEIR SOUL IS PURE.

Matthew 5.8
Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.

New York was originally inhabited by various Native American tribes, including the Lenape, Iroquois, and Werrick. They were the first inhabitants of the area, long before European settlers arrived.

I listened to all the contestants & also watched their videoes, I believe the most competent candidate won.

Lets give him the benefit of doubt to see how he performs.

It will take a 34 year old immigrants to expose Trump. All those taxes he has not been paying, he will pay. He will also feel the tarrifs he imposes on countries unilaterally.

I really don't understand why his religion is an issue. He doesn't sound radical to me, he grew up in Uganda, his dad is a movie maker and his mum is a writer. His wife dress like a westernised woman.

My biggest issue with him is his inexperience and socialist policy. I don't think he fully understand how governance works.

EDGEof2MORO:
nigerians are quick to celebrate when a nigerian immigrant in another country gets a political seat, but will weep and wail when a foreigner (even a nigerian not from the same tribe) attempts to contest election in their community.

When Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour contested for Lagos governor, Nigerians remembered his mother is not Yoruba, his wife is not Yoruba, his dog is not Yoruba

Guy rest. Both governors of Oyo and Osun has non yourba mum. It wasn't an issue during the election for them.

So ask yourself, why was it an issue for gbadebo. Maybe he's the one that has a problem. He openly said he doesn't identify as Yoruba.

Hussein035:
This is another tactics by the Christian and Jews to discredit Islam yet their citizens are embracing Islam as if Islam is sharing free food and car

This is the result of telling lies to people but they later find out you the Truth

same way white women are dating black men despite the negative stereotype against black. That doesn't mean those stereotypes against blacks are not true.
there's a rapid rise in white single mothers with mixed race kids since this trend started yet that wouldn't stop other white women from dating black men.
same way white liberals are supporting 3rd world immigrants flooding their country despite the negative atmosphere about it. There's no tangible evidence to show immigrants are better than whites in anyway but white liberals keep supporting open door policy.

It's the way the whites are wired especially their liberals. They are wired to hate anything white and embrace anything non-white esp if perceived unique and distinct.

If Yoruba people package Ifa-Olokun religion and promote it as a universal religion, the biggest converts will be whites.
